Goodnight 2015

Dear Max and Kira,

Please sleep until 2016.

Love,

Mom

The crowns are older than the kids!

Kira had a great year, but not the best few days.  Hopefully she is back to herself next year...in a few hours!

Baby love

Max still wishes Kira was a little baby that he could hold.  Luckily for mommy and daddy, she is a little baby that they can hold.  

A little r and r after a six and a half hour nap!  She fell asleep sick and woke up better!

Ready for school! (and a football game!)

Fire safety first

Max was showing us how to stop, drop, and roll

The scoot that does not stop

Unstoppable 

Double fisting breakfast

"CHUCK E CHEESE!!!!" Max screamed as soon as he opened this present.

He (Max) can sleep in our bed every night if he sleeps until 8am.

Party time!

Max had his birthday celebration at his favorite place- daddy's gym!

Bounce house in the house!

Max and Avery miss seeing each other every day

Post-party comma 

Enjoying the warm December day!

Max is not happy about the possibility (inevitablity) of this tree coming down.  "Take a picture of me by the tree!!"

Kira loves to read (turn pages)

"How do I write daddy?" Max asked as he was on a name tag making mission.  He made a bunch of name tags for his party, most of which said Max.

Kira may not like to nap that much during the day but she is a pure dreamboat at night.  The past several nights she has been so happy to go to sleep that she has the biggest smile on her face when she gets placed in her crib.  

Game face

Max enjoyed his new Cougar sweatshirt [and popcorn!] at the Oakton game tonight 

Christmas pjs of past and present 

A very merry Christmas

Sibling gift exchange 

Max got the one thing he asked for- a Cougar sweatshirt like daddy's 

He also got a bicycle that he rode immediately- before the sun was out 

Kira got fun presents, too!

Christmas Cookie Monster!

crazy monkeys!

Hotel pool

Max is four!

"Can I keep this up ALL ALL the time?!" Max immediately said when he awoke to his decorated abode.

It's his birthday and Christmas Eve, so he can eat his house if he wants to.

Max was the first one in the door of Chibis this morning

Kira loves hanging out in the bounce house

Birthday lunch at his favorite spot, Lucias 

One of the many highlights of Max's fourth birthday may very well have been his excursion to Giant.  "I am such a big helper, right!" he said every two seconds as he carted around our groceries.

Max was in shock, practically in tears, when he opened this Giants helmet and uniform from aunt Arielle.

Immediate outfit change- obviously.

Max enjoyed the rest of his gifts through the eyes of his new helmet.  He made out pretty well considering that Santa is bringing more gifts for him tomorrow.

Christmas Eve ready

Sadie came over to celebrate

Dance party!

"This is my Christmas outfit!" said guess who, in regards to his football uniform.
